Thanks, and sorry for not spotting the other bug report (I only
checked bugs against exim4-config).

After reading your answer to Michal I see your point; and I can
understand that you are not keen on adding complex checks but maybe
it might help to avoid some confusion if you changed the error
message by adding "or by some old .dpkg-old files" or similar.

Feel free to close/merge/downgrade-to-wishlist this bug.


Cheers,
gregor
